* READ MORE: Rosé and Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ is an addictively flirty and fun intro to the BLACKPINK
star’s solo era
As well as her own hit single, the Bruno Mars-assisted ‘APT.’, the New Zealand artist also combined Lana Del Rey‘s ‘Norman Fucking
Rockwell’ with Paul Simon‘s ‘50 Ways to Leave Your Lover’ during her stop on the show.
The full footage of her appearance was shared on YouTube on Friday (September 26), with the ’50 Ways to Leave Your Norman’ medley
seeing Rosé alter Del Rey’s track slightly so its lyrics were less explicit.
“You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you/But I don’t get bored, I just see it through/Why wait for the best when I
could have you?” she sang, before transitioning into Simon’s 1975 track.
“You just slip out the back, Jack/Make a new plan, Stan/You don’t need to be coy, Roy/Just get yourself free,” Rosé sings in the
clip. “Hop on the bus, Gus/You don’t need to discuss much/Just drop off the key, Lee/And get yourself free.”
Earlier this month, the K-pop star and BLACKPINK
member hit yet another landmark achievement, with ‘APT.’ garnering over 2billion
views on YouTube, the first of her solo material to do so.
That news came shortly after she became the first-ever Korean act to win Song of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
‘APT.’ broke numerous records and topped charts following its release in October – also becoming the fastest K-pop song to surpass
one billion streams on Spotify.
The track was also named one of NME’s best 50 songs of 2024 and clinched the second spot on NME’s list of the best 25 K-pop songs
of the year, with Sara Delgado saying that with “a genius interpolation of Toni Basil’s ‘Mickey’ and an infectiously funky chanted
chorus, ‘APT.’ will go down in history as the perfect case study on how to launch a solo career.
“The cherry on top of a great package? The assist (vocally, but also creatively) from the ever-charismatic Bruno Mars.”
The song also scored a glowing five-star review, with NME’s Rhian Daly writing: “There’s a power and confidence in her voice that
far surpasses her past performances, and the vintage pop-rock riffs and attitude – which echo with elements of Toni Basil,
Blondie and Joan Jett – feel sublimely suited to her as an artist.
“Addictive, flirty and a whole lot of fun, ‘APT.’ is the perfect introduction to Rosé’s new chapter.”
